US Botanic Garden

It was a beautiful fall day this week when we decided to take a ride in to town for our morning walk. The sky was a beautiful blue and the air was crisp - so much nicer than the heat and humidity of summer in the swamp. After parking in our old Capitol Hill neighborhood we walked to the Supreme Court where everything had been cleared away in preparation for the Ginsburg funeral. Then we passed by the Capitol building on our way to the newly dedicated Eisenhower memorial across from the air and space museum. On our way back to the car we walked through my ever favorite US Botanic garden. Most of the vegetables have been harvested, although there were some beans still in view. The Bartholdi fountain was splashing away in all its splendor. We have walked through this place a million times and every time there is something new to see. The indoor gardens probably won’t be open for a while yet but at least it’s nice to be able to walk through part of the outdoor loveliness. This is one part of our old neighborhood that I miss the most. You can see why.
